H.E. Sabah Salem Al Dossary, former Undersecretary at Bahrain’s Labour Ministry and a former Shura Council member, has been honoured by the Arab Labour Organisation as one of the region’s labour pioneers.

The tribute was given during the 51st Arab Labour Conference, held in Cairo from 19 to 26 April 2025, with labour ministers from across the Arab world in attendance.

Al Dossary spent nearly a decade as Undersecretary, from 2011 to 2020, during which he led efforts to improve workplace safety, expand training opportunities, and strengthen employment services.

Dialogue

He was also a steady presence in efforts to encourage dialogue between workers, employers, and government.

H.E. Yousif bin Abdulhussain Khalaf, Minister for Legal Affairs and Acting Minister of Labour, congratulated Al Dossary on the recognition, describing his public service as a valuable contribution to regional cooperation and labour development.

He also praised his role in reinforcing workplace ties within Bahrain.

Appreciation

Speaking after the ceremony, Al Dossary thanked the Ministry for nominating him and expressed his appreciation to the Arab Labour Organisation for the honour.

He said the award reflected the work of the wider public sector in Bahrain, which has pushed to improve labour market conditions and ensure fair treatment for all.

Al Dossary credited the support of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and the guidance of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, for helping drive these efforts forward.
